I have never used ‘Kaspersky’. I had gone with ‘Avast‘ 20+ years ago & stuck with them (through thick & thin) until a few weeks ago.
But, I have always had tremendous respect for Kaspersky. They sure seems to know their stuff & they consistently are at the top of most antivirus rankings.
Given how good they are at antivirus protection they have to know a LOT about PC vulnerabilities and how they can be exploited.
I have always maintained that antivirus software is the BIGGEST & MOST DANGEROUS virus you have on your PC. You have given that software carte blanche access to your whole PC. The antivirus software knows everything about your PC, what is on it & can change more or less anything on your PC.
A ROGUE antivirus program can wreak havoc. That is what scares me. I would NOT want Kaspersky upset with me. They probably can do us all a fair amount of harm — surreptitiously.
This is just me being cautious in my old age. Think about it.
